I made these earrings using two cultured white pearls that measure a bit over 11.7mm in size and have not been treated in any way, (no bleach, no dye, no enchantment, etc.). The buyer will receive the EXACT pearl earrings pictured. All of the metal I used is 14K yellow gold filled -- it will not tarnish. The earrings are high polish shield front leverbacks that are 14K Gold Filled. The buyer will receive a small gold foil box in case they are purchasing a gift, and I do ship SAME day :). Thank you SO much for looking through my items!
